Echo Furniture Review

I came across Echo Furniture after scouring furniture store reviews in SF on Yelp.  I decided to go with Echo and boy, am I glad that I did.  First off, the prices relative to the quality that you're getting is unbelievable.  I bought a leather couch and not only is it very comfortable, it looks awesome too.

I also got a square ottoman, but Cliff told me that they had run out.  So Cliff offered me a brand new circular ottoman as a rental until the square one came in a few months later.  Cliff personally delivered the square ottoman when it was ready for delivery.

Echo Furniture deserves another Kudo from me.  Cliff is the BEST person to go to for any home furnishing advice.  From carpet, to window coverings, to color matching, to furniture style...  He is generous to share his knowledge and he would spend as much time as you need with you. Cliff told me what to look out for when I purchase a carpet, even when I'm not buying from him. He would go out of his way to make sure I'm getting the right things for my house.

Suetake Bros, Inc Review

Akira did a fantastic job with my fiance's engagement ring.  I would highly recommend him and there is a reason why he has received only five star reviews on Yelp.  Several friends have also used him and they feel the same way that I do.

Akira is exactly the type of merchant one would like to deal with when making such an important purchase.  He is patient, reasonable, very accommodating, and a true artisan.  His pricing is well below retail but you get the same, if not better, quality that you would at TIffany or Shreve. I would especially recommend Akira to inexperienced buyers of jewelry who are not as familiar with the process and might be a little nervous about making such a large purchase.

I had done a little of my own research, but was basically a rookie when it came to fine jewelry. Eddie was patient with me when I asked rookie questions. He knew the right questions to ask in order to bring about the design of the engagement ring my fiance would love. He provided a no pressure environment where I felt comfortable from the get go. No doubt I will be coming back for all my custom jewelry in the future.

AC Gears Review

AC Gears is awesome, but I think if you've visited and paid close attention on all the things they have in the store you'd think so too. Actually I pass around that area a lot to Union but because the storefront is small I've missed it so many times. Finally being inside with a girlfriend of mine - but I want to write about their music selection. You really don't get to find a lot of stores that'd play stuff beyond the radio and blockbuster. The last few times I was at the shop I had to pull out my phone to shazam them!  Kitsune is a good start but they have things more "underground."  Miami Horror was one I Shazamed at AC Gears before, just for example. Anyway, a gadget store is an understatement. They offer good headphone warranty coverage. Check them out and take your phone out while you're there ...
